Shaping the Future of UM Catering: Insights from Our Lunch Sessions

As part of our efforts to improve the catering experience at Maastricht University, we recently organized three engaging lunch sessions to gather valuable input for the upcoming UM catering contract. These sessions offered a platform to explore potential improvements and identify changes needed in comparison to the current services. 

Our aim was to collect insights from all levels of the organization, ensuring that the voices of both students and employees were heard. To achieve this, we invited the entire UM community to participate, resulting in an enthusiastic response of approximately 140 registrations, from both employees and staff. 

The sessions focused on four central themes, which will shape the foundation of the new catering contract: catering concept, sustainability, service and price and quality ratio.  

The information gathered during these sessions will be translated into concrete requirements and objectives for the new contract. By aligning with the feedback from our community, we aim to create a catering experience that reflects the needs, values, and preferences of everyone at UM. 

We are grateful to all participants who contributed their time and ideas. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of UM’s catering services. Stay tuned for updates as we move forward with this important project!
